The Turret is a high-end gaming solution that’s looking for a problem. There’s a reason that almost every attempt to bring both mobile and PC gaming into the living room has eschewed a mouse and keyboard. While it makes sense in theory, using a big,...

Razer Turret Review and my living room keyboard dreams

I'd been waiting a long time for this keyboard to be released. This, the Razer Turret, a keyboard, mouse, and mousepad made for the living room. I first saw it back at CES 2015. Back then, it went hand-in-hand with the Razer Forge TV, a device that was...

Is the Razer Turret worth the $160 USD it costs straight from Razer? Absolutely. It might surprise you that this keyboard costs more than the Razer Forge TV – that I can’t properly explain, as I’ve not had the opportunity to review that Android TV...

Razer Turret Review and Ratings

Slick and solid-feeling for living-room PC gaming, this keyboard/mouse combo gets out of the way when you just want to watch TV. But its trim size is better for short-burst gaming than serious play.

Space-saving dock keeps devices charged and out of the way when not in use ; Solid build quality ; RF and Bluetooth connectivity ; Designed for both Windows PCs and Android ; Synapse settings save to cloud

Keyboard is unnecessarily cramped, lacks macro keys ; No key backlighting ; Mouse is small, and not as feature-packed as gamers might expect

Crafting a collection of gaming peripherals that works great on the couch isn't easy. Designers need to balance space-saving design with features that take up a fair bit of space by their very nature, such as roomy key layouts and dedicated macro keys....

Razer Turret Review — Ready for Your Living Room

The Turret sets out to fill a very specific niche in the gaming world, and although it's not a perfect fit, it's a big step in the right direction. The Turret isn't as big or as comfortable as I would have liked, but it's also attractive, functional...

Razer Turret review: This compact lapboard works around the living room

The Razer Turret (available for $150 on Amazon) is the first mouse and keyboard I don't mind leaving around my living room. Is it 100-percent functional? No. Is it 100-percent practical? Also no. But its compressed size and inconspicuous design make it...

Keyboard and mouse combo for sofa-based PC gamers

Not designed to be a pure gaming keyboard, the Razer Turret is a lap-board best used on the couch with your PC or streaming device hooked up to a big screen. At $170, AU$280 or £150, it's globally available on Razer's online store.

The Razer Turret's mouse magnetization is a nice touch, and the lap-board is great for web surfing and light gaming sessions

Not apt for intense, competitive gaming sessions, considerably more expensive than similar (though less stylish) options

If you like to play single player content then the Turret is a more usable piece of tech, but it's just not stable enough for anything competitive.
